In March of 2008,I had the opport un ity to tour with a band. The experie nee was eye-ope ning.I hadn' t realized how many misconceptions I had about the lifestyle of aworld-class musician. Such a life is not as great as it appears. In fact, some aspects are extremely tedious. Hours and hours are spe nt wait ing. The musicia ns wait for their tran sportati on; they wait for the sound check; they wait to perform. After the show, they wait for the crowds of fans to go away. When the musicians are not waiting, they are traveling. Sometimes the travel itselfcan seem attractive and exciting, with the limousines （豪华轿车）and the first-classseats on the plane. However, even these luxuries cannot make up for long, boring hours on the road or in the air. Basic n eeds are all but igno red. Late-ni ght shows and early wake-up calls make them know the precious ness of sleep. The dema nding travel it in eraries （行程）and show schedules make regular meals impossible.In spite of the sacrifices, life on tour has its adva ntage, at least for the tale nt. A support team gen erally travels with the band, with at least one pers on dedicatedto meeting the musicians ' needs at all times. The musicians are expected to perform at the shows, but they are not expected to man age any detail of their lives. WhenI was with the band, I poured glasses of grapefruit juice, madesandwiches, prepared dressing rooms, and performed all kinds of routine work, such as buying toothpaste and getting money from the ATM. In addition, efforts are made by promoters to keep the musicia ns happy. Most places offer private dress ing rooms for the musicia ns.There is also usually a green room, a room that is large with comfortable furnishings where the band can visit with friends and family while waiting to go on stage. Before the band goes on, their families and friends file out into the auditorium and find their seats. The house lights go dark and curtain rises. When the lights flash on and the band starts play ing, the scene is magical. A beh in d-the-sce nes view makes the experie nee even more spectacular.64. The un derl ined world in paragraph 2 probably means ___ .A. excit ingB. bori ngC. reas on ableD. ridiculous65. We can infer from the third paragraph that ____ .A. good arrangements always make the trips comfortable and pleasantB. most musicia ns would rather travel long dista nee tha n waitC. most musicians ignore their basic needs because the travel is too luxuriousD. the lack of sleep and irregular meals seem to be a part of the life of musicians66. Which might be the best title for the passage?A. Behind the Scene.B. Hard Life of Musicians.C. My Part-time Job.D. How to Make Musicians Happy.(C)Most people who live in Seattle, Washington, love their city. There is a never-ending flow of fun things to do. But, people who live there do not always enjoy the day-after-day absence of sunshine during the winter months.It is documented fact that sunshine (or lack of it) plays a major role in how each of us meets the day. It also affects how we perform at school or work. When people are derived of sunlight, they can develop seasonal affective disorder, which makes it difficult for them to feel happy or get things accomplished. No major city in the United States is more affected by the “ sunshine factor ” than Seattle.To fight drizzle and fog during the winter months, Steve Murphy created a business that is very popular among the locals. The Indoor Sun Shoppe is more than a little ray of sunshine during the gray days of Seattle ' s winter. His shop offers a hugesource of plants and artificial lighting for people who are trying to overcome seasonal affective disorder.Located in Fremont, Washington, The Indoor Sun Shoppe has an amazing collection of exotic plants and “ good bugs” in a humid and well-lit environment. At The Indoor Sun Shoppe, you can spend up to $400 for artificial lighting that will chase away the winter blues. It will also keep your plants healthy. You can buy a dawn simulator that will gradually fill your room with a warming wake-up glow. What better way to meet a Seattle morning when real sunshine is nothing more than a happy thought! Murphy ' s in-home waterfalls are also popular with customers. But his plants and lights remain the “ main course. ” On a cloudy winter day, The Indoor Sun Shoppeis a bright spot in Seattle!67. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Seattle is located in the state of Washington.B. Citizens love Seattle for their colorful city lives.C. Sunshine in Seattle is rare duri ng the win ter mon ths.D. People who live in Seattle are used to the sunshine absenee.68. Which of the followi ng best defi nes the term seas onal affective disorder inPara.2?A. mild temperature and a gen eral feeli ng of ill ness caused by gray win terB. exhausti on, depressi on and lack of en ergy caused by a lack of sun lightC. win ter-related ill ness caused by the low temperature and little sun lightD. post-holiday depression that comes when relatives leave after Christmas69. The In door Sun Shoppe ___ .A. attracts people from differe nt parts of the whole countryB. aims to create a humid and well-lit environment duri ng win ter mon thsC. brings only a little ray of sunshine during the gray days of Seattle 's wi nterD. offers variety of goods help ing people overcome seas onal affective disorder70. Which of the following best explains the use of a dawn simulator?A. An alarm clock stimulated by the light rays of early morning.B. A brin ger of in door artificial sun shi ne whe n there is none outside.C. An automatic waterfall system help ing make in door pla nts healthy.D. A better way to meet a Seattle morning with real warming sunshine.Section CDirections: Read the followi ng text and choose the most suitable headi ng from A-Ffor each paragraph. There is one extra headi ng which you do not n eed.71.精品文档Brita in may be the most red-headed country in the world. About 1 to 2 perce nt ofthe world ' s population has red hair, but in the UK the numbers are much higher, with 13 percent of Scots, 10 percent of the Irish, and 6 percent of people in England hav ing red hair, accord ing to the BBC.72.Scientists have tried to explain why some people have red hair for some time andnow they may have found an answer: the dull weather in Britain. The humanbody needs vitam in D from sunshine, but unfortun ately people livi ng in Brita in do not haveeno ugh of it because of its maritime climate. In fact, Brita in gets even more cloud than countries in the far north of Europe. In Sweden, for example, the average daily hours of sunshine is 5.4 .In Scotla nd it is only 3.1 hours.73.To deal with this, the DNA of people livi ng in these areas has cha nged slightly;scie ntists call this a mutati on. Origin ally, the colori ng on our body is a mixtureof two kinds of melanin - black melanin is suppressed while only red / yellow melanin is made. The result is red hair, light skin color, freckles and a greater sensitivity to sun light.74.However, what' s more interesting is that the redhead DNAmutation is recessive, which means it is hidde n and can ofte n skip gen eratio ns without show ing. At least1.6 million Scots carry a redhead gene mutation, and most are unaware that they do.This is why a person who does not have red hair can still produce red-haired childrenif he or she is a carrier of this special DNA.75.The research on red hair, like many areas of scienee, is contradictory（不一致）. In 2002 researchers showed that redheads are more sensitive to pain, and need more an esthetic duri ng surgery tha n people with blonde or dark hair. However, i n 2005 scientists found that a MCRIRmutation gives redheads a higher toleranee for pain.Research into these aspects of red hair genetics continues. Redheads should though be more careful about their exposure to sun light as they are at an in creased riskof contracting skin cancer. If you are a redhead, the advice is not to stay out of the sun, but to be careful about how much exposure you get, and to cover yourself with a high factor sunscreen.第II 卷(共15 分)I.
